There wont be a day that goes by that we do not miss her, talk to her, or remember her! We will make sure Noah knows everything about his grandmother and how much she loved him! He is the one who is really missing out because she would have been an amazing grandmother for him growing up and it saddens us that he will not get to have her around. But like we have been telling each other, now she can see him anytime she wants :-)
Very fittingly this is the last picture taken of my mom. May 30th, 2011.
